Analysis of Nematode Genome - CH Ting
“The
nematode is one of the simplest animals, but its genome is already 100Mbp.
That's about the upper limit of my genome analysis capability. I will show some
results, the pearls and necklaces, and perhaps their association with the
microRNAs and non-coding RNAs in the nematode.”

Ascetic Programming - Samuel A. Falvo
II
“Anyone can program anything with any language, in any style.
One can write object-oriented programs in C if you wanted, or functional
programs in C++. It goes without saying that a programming language strongly
encourages a specific style. This just might be Forth's preferred
style.”

The Nature of CoSy - Bob Armstrong
The
everyday practical use of CoSy which is rapidly
reaching parity with K.CoSy, and in many areas exceeding it. In particular, the
everyday dealing with accounts has taken a big step forward with defining ' ('
and ' ') to form a list from whatever is stacked between them.

The Secret Origin of fig-FORTH and the Founding of FIG -
Bill Ragsdale
Bill will present how fig-FORTH came to be, why it used
the 6502 processor, why it spread so rapidly (early viral!), and how the key

also include ONLY, ALSO, and Bill's DOES>. |
